Mmm, porky.
Homer: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

ReplyDeleteOMG! That episode- and the one where Homer gets 'Beef Poisoning' from eating that ginormous steak... what a riot. I've never thought to do this with a pork tenderloin, I've always roasted it whole. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGod bless Laura Rebecca and Homer!
